Here's my 4th entry in Gyre-Viper's and Chief_1's contest over at our sister site hisstank.com and one of my favorite movie characters of all time.Rocky Balboa. YouTube - My Custom G.I. Joe: Rocky Balboa 3.75" Figure Recipe: Head-ROC Pit Commando Upper Torso-ROC Snake Eyes Lower Arms-ROC Monkeywrench Upper Legs-25th Serpentor Knees-25th Breaker Lower Legs-BNB Razor Ramon *Some sculpting and joint surgery required
This is probably my favorite custom I've made so far and took me the longest to do.Hope everyone enjoys.I have been wanting to do him for a long time and saved it for this contest and Memorial Day.The progression of my custom:
His mouth should be a bit more distorted having an black eye, his arms raised like shouting "AAAADRIAAAAN" *g*
That is amazing. Now make Apollo and have them do that last "Ding Ding" and punch pose at the end of Rocky 3. What Destro is that?!
lol I was thinking about giving him a black eye and swollen eye I'm working on Apollo and others.Thats a pre-production/prototype Resolute Destro I got from China thats not out at retail yet.
at first i was impressed with the accuracy, and because Rocky's one of my favorite movies. but to see the WIP progress was truly inspiring!
Thanks I'm trying to work on the other boxers from Rocky.I'm just running out of the much needed parts.Trying to hunt them down on E-Bay Thanks much appreciated!Just sharing the WIP so everyone that wants a Rocky can do one
Thanks.I used some real inexpensive acrylic paint from my local Hobby Lobby store.Folkart?? is on the label.I mixed 2 colors "skin tone" and "bear tan" until I got the right complexion I wanted.
Yo, I just wanted to say this is awesome. You're gonna eat lightnin' and you're gonna crap thunder! You're gonna eat plastic and you're gonna crap customs! this is a beaut and it made me smile big.
